Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan and Mani Ratnam. Can a combination get bigger, better or rather ‘scarier’ ( as per the film’s title ) than this ?

Will ‘Raavan’ be able to kidnap ( pun intended ) the audience to their nearby theatres and make the film a ‘hit’ ? Our in house expert and celebrity astro numerologist Bhavikk Sangghvi reveals it all :

“ The title ‘RAAVAN’ adds up to Number 16 – this octave of Number 7 is an unlucky number. It contains warning of some strange fatality awaiting one, also danger of accidents and defeat of one's plans. If it appears as a "compound" number relating to the future, it is a warning sign that should be carefully noted and plans made in advance in the endeavour to avert its fatalistic tendency ” explains Bhavikk.

He continues “ In simple words, the box office outcome of the film does not look that good to me but...he adds quickly -

“ As for Abhishek, he is in his 35th year ( 5th February 1976 ) and so being an Aquarian ( ruled by Number 8 – Saturn ), this role will catapult him to a much higher position. Also, the year 2010 which adds up to Number 3 ( Jupiter ) is his destiny number ( the sum total of his date of birth ) and so it’s praises galore for Bachchan Jr. ” predicts Bhavikk.

“ The same cannot be said for Aishwarya, as being in her 37th year ( 1st November 1973 ) and Number 3 ( 2010 ) being her weakest number, this is a volatile combination and she might just not get the appreciation as expected, although Number 7 ( Neptune ) is one her better numbers and that should do some damage control ”.

“ But it’s said – in a ‘Mani Ratnam film’, he is the real ‘hero’ and Mani sir has just entered his 55th year ( 2nd June 1956 ) which is ‘not so good’ news for him. Once again, the Number 1 ( 55 ) clash with Number 3 ( Jupiter ) theory is applied here and that’s not happening at all ”.

“ Last but not the least, Govinda who also acts in the film and would be sulking ( for some reason has been kept out of publicity and promotions ) has nothing to worry about.

He is a Number 3 ( 21st December 1963 ) person in numerology and Number 7 ( Neptune ) is one his best numbers. His performance will be liked despite the length of his role ”.

“ As for South actor Vikram, he is in his 45th year ( 17th April 1966 ) and being an Arien, he is ruled by Number 9 ( Mars ). Plus the year 2010 favours most Number 8 ( Saturn ) people, and so Vikram will be able to increase his fan following in Bollywood as well after the release of this film ”.

“ So in short, it’s more of awards and appreciation for RAAVAN then any box office rewards or returns, it seems ! ” signs off Bhavikk.
